Fixed dental prosthesis on six zirconia implants for an anterior maxillary rehabilitation: case report with 10-year follow-up.

ABSTRACT

This article reports a case of maxillary rehabilitation with an implant-supported fixed partial denture on six zirconia implants. A female patient with impacted maxillary canines attended our dental clinic seeking a metal-free maxillary restoration. After the extraction of both impacted maxillary canines and the placement of autogenous bone graft, six one-piece zirconia implants with conical abutments were placed in the anterior maxillary region. Two zirconia fixed dental prosthesis with porcelain veneering, separated at the mid-line, were placed on these zirconia implants. The ten-year follow-up monitored the adequate evolution of both implants and restorations with no signs of peri-implant disease.
